Scaleable and flexible data centre networks
Fast Lane expands its laboratory infrastructure with the addition of a Cisco Nexus 7000 lab
As a Cisco Learning Solutions Partner, Fast Lane’s programme includes all the official training courses for the Cisco Nexus product family. In addition, the company has also developed its own Nexus training courses for various target groups. Practical work in high-end laboratories with genuine equipment constitutes an integral part of the hands-on training that is offered. The training specialist has recently expanded its laboratory infrastructure with a new Cisco Nexus 7000 lab. The laboratory has been established in the Frankfurt training centre along with additional Nexus 5000 and 2000 systems, and has the capacity to accommodate up to 32 students.
Cisco Nexus switches enable flexible and scaleable structures to be created in data centre networks. The modular Nexus 7000 series has been designed specifically for 10-Gigabit Ethernet networks. The system runs on the Cisco NX-OS operating system.
Lab environment used for current training courses
The new laboratory facilities will be used, for example, for the five day !Implementing Cisco Data Center Network Infrastructure 2 (DCNI-2) training course. This course covers the deployment and configuration of data centre networks using the Cisco Nexus 7000, 5000 and 2000 products, as well as associated trouble-shooting. Half of the training is dedicated to practical exercises using the new laboratory infrastructure.
